General Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov 20-Mrs. Cleveland has
a her guests three of her former classmates at
Wells College-Miss Kingsford, of Oswego; Miss
Minnie Alexander, of Cleveland. o., and Miss
Julia Severance, of Bird geport. O., who arrived
yesterday sfternoon.
c. NJ W. Earl. of Indianapolis, is said to have
a good chance of bein appointed foreman of
the Congressional Record rooms in the Govern
ment Printing Office, position paying seven
dollars per day.
1t is stated that ex-Lani Commissioner Sparks
intends to remain Washington during the
curing legislation which will embarrass those
who have in charge the work he has left in the
department.. It is known that Mr. Peyson, of
Illinois. has. to considerable degree, Endorsed
the departures made by Mr.. Sparks in the Land
Office, and. he will be in this as in past Con-
crosses, prominent member OF the House COM
mttee on public lands, Mr.. Sparks expects to
get the ear OF the committee and get even" for
the manner in which Secretary Lamar has sat
down upon him. If Secretary Lamar should re-
main in his present position, the recent Com
missioner of the Land Office might be able to
make things uncomfortable for him.
There Senators in both parties who autici-
pate long and heated debate over the contests
from Indiana and West Virginia; and there are
those who believe that there may be two seats
declared vacant in the Senate by these contests.
There is little likelihood that there will be any
literary bureaux run here this winter in the in
teresr of aspirants fer the presidential nomipa-
lions. The friends of the men spoken of in
either party saw the nominations must come I'M
solicited. and that any working mp" schemes
not only frowned upon by the aspirants, but
the people at large.
1t has been limited that Don NJ. Dickinson of
Michigan, may be made Secretary of War, to
succeed Mr. Endicott, who is not in popular ia
vor and that Assistant Postmaster-gene
Stevenson may be the successor of Mr. Villas. If
Mr. Lamar is not confirmed for the Supreme
Court, the retirement of Mr.. Endicott and the
induction of Mr.. Dickinson to the War Depart
ment can proceed just as we'll as though the other
changes occurred.

ALMA TADEMA's KINDNESS.

and the poor little governess edged her way into
the crowd with difficulty. But at last she
squeezed her face under an old gentleman's arm

by the wonderful scene. She forgot about her

one of them got near enough to the slave to bid

Scarcity of Coal at Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 20.-The present stock of
coal in Cincinnati is half million bushels,
while the usual stock at this time is three
four million bushels. The low stage OF water in
the Ohio river, which is the chief source of sup
ply tor soft coal. makes it impossible to add a
bushel in that way TO the stock. The railroads
are not at all prepared to supply such vast guam
titles consumed here daily, though in
case there is not very rise in the river,
their equipment will have to be enlarged TO pre-
vent actual distress. Manufacturing establish
ments now in trouble over the short allow
ance and high prices, and all are intensely in
terested in rise in the Ohio river.
